What is SolveFire and how does it work?
Solvefire.net is a math olympiad-focused competition platform for anyone who enjoys challenging math problems. It hosts weekly contests where users can compete, improve their skills, and track their progress on a global leaderboard.
The platform, inspired by Codeforces, follows a structured rating-based system adapted for competitive mathematics. Problems range from AMC 8 to USAMO level, offering something for both casual problem solvers and experienced, motivated competitors.
There are five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
Here are the corresponding difficulty levels:
Bronze — AMC 8
Silver — AMC 10/12
Gold — AIME
Platinum — USAJMO P1/P2
Diamond — USAMO P2/P3
More information about the ranking system can be found here:

Note that Platinum and Diamond are hosted bi-weekly, whereas other levels are weekly.
Competitions activate on Friday at 6 PM PDT and end on Sunday at 6 PM PDT. Users can start their own personal one-hour timer within that time period and complete the contest.
Solutions to the contest problems are available on the contest page after the contest ends.
As of now, there is no way to move down levels due to poor performance.
Problems of the Day (POTD) and Problems of the Week (POTW) are active from Monday through Friday. Solving the POTD awards 10 points, and solving the POTW awards 50 points. Incorrect submissions do not result in any point deductions.
Past contests and POTD/POTW problems can be viewed in the “Problem Set” for practice (these do not award any points).
The Community Chat feature allows users to communicate with developers and other users on the website.
SolveFire Hosting is a reliable way to host math competitions without having to set up complicated submission portals or constantly advertise on Discord servers to get participants. Users need only upload problems and solutions, and set time restraints after creating a competition on SolveFire Hosting. Competition creators can set a time frame for when the competition is active and the duration of a personal timer. All other registered users on the website will be able to participate in the competition.
